16 U.S.C. § 8015 — Improvement of transparency and traceability programs

The Secretary of State, the head of USAID, the Secretary overseeing the Coast Guard (when it's not part of the Navy), the Secretary of Commerce, and other federal agency heads, when it makes sense, must work with priority flag states and key countries in priority regions on three goals: (1) Teaching these countries more about U.S. transparency and traceability standards for seafood imports. (2) Building up these countries' seafood industries through information sharing and training, so they can meet transparency and traceability standards for seafood imports — including catch documentation and trade tracking programs adopted by regional fisheries management groups. (3) Improving the ability of governments, industry, and civil society groups in these countries to build full traceability systems that (A) stop illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; (B) strengthen fisheries management; and (C) improve awareness of what's happening in ocean and coastal areas.
